Description/Reviews
This new project blends together music Medieval, Renaissance, and Celtic, with attitude subtly 'prog'.
Original compositions (Sidera Noctis, Celtic Blessing, Mizar, Kepler) alternate with pieces of repertoire (the Portuguese ballad La Follia, a favorite subject for Arcangelo Corelli, Antonio Vivaldi and Paul Benedetto Bellinzani; Irish "Cooney's Reel", the Venetian song "Fame la Nana"), creating a fascinating interplay between acoustic instrumentation, with an emphasis on timbre as much due to the richness of acoustic instruments (recorders, flutes, duduk, whistles) as well as to the use of keyboards, and in a case of a drum machine (the final song "Keplero").
